Why do many women find it a threat to be a submissive wife?

I believe both must hold up their own ends of the agreement or like a contract, it is void.

As long as the husbands are fully understanding, there is nothing wrong in the wives being submissive. It adds lot of pleasure to life. But once the husband takes this as a weakness in wife the thing will take a different shape which is altogether unworthy.

There is a difference in being submissive and your husband caring about your view points and being submissive and he could care less. My husband shows me respect, therefore, I can be considered a submissive wife. He has the last say.

I am a stay at home mom and my schedule revolves around him. He listens to everything I have to say and makes his decisions on what is best for the family. There are men that are not like that.

They could care less about their wives and all the do is expect more from them. That is when I think the wives should not be submissive.

I think this has to do with social conditioning more than anything else. I honestly don't think most men are bad guys. I think we all have our flaws BUT for some reason here lately, it's almost as if the flaws of men are the only ones making the news/media/hollywood movies.

Very rarely are women shown as being controlling or nagging and it's NOT seen as something "humorous. " I can guarantee you that any man living with this kind of woman is not happy at all and there's nothing funny about it. Currently, the trend is for women to be selfish and narcissistic.

What about me? What about my needs and my wants? What about my this or my that?

So when it comes to submission our first thought is "but how will that effect me?! " and not "What could this possibly do for OUR household and OUR relationship." I've been in 50/50 relationships and they're tiring, delegation and submission have allowed me to embrace those things I care deeply for, pay attention to my home, take care of my fiancee (who in turn takes care of me) and have the kind of life so many of my girlfriends "can't imagine.

" but then the moment THEY Have it, they're talking to me like it's something brand new. LOL! Now I will never say he is perfect, no one is perfect, but he tries and when I try, he tries harder.

It really is an amazing thing.

Because men will walk all over you if you are too submissive. If you say yes to everything they say, and your just this complete robot to make him happy, he's not going to respect you. It doesn't mean that you have to say no to everything and always argue, but it means that women have a mind of their own and some of us aren't afraid to use it.

Well I've been blessed with a very independent wife. She keeps me running! She knows where shes going and exactly how to get there.

Now I do talk big but I grovel better. If were refering to sex she does induldge me if I behave. The key word to the scripture you quoted is missing, It's 'righteous'.

If a man is righteous then a woman will never have to worry being treated correctly.

I don't find it a threat. I find it inconvenient especially when I need to make a decision and he is not there to guide me along. Come on why waste your brain and dignity by handing it over and trusting it to someone else?

Besides, look around at how few good men there really are. If you find one who demands that you submit to him then you better get running because that is just sick.

Because you don't exist after you give up who you are just so that someone else can feel important or be "in charge". Who wwouldn't find it to be a threat, unless you weren't a threat to begin with. You totally are subjecting yourself to every and anything.

Omg this is unreal what does the lord have to do with this. Are you using scripture to make yourself believe this . Logic and mature behavior, period!

I was a submissive partner for a while and I didn't mind. But then it was more a sexual thing than anything else. I was turned on by the ability to totally let go and allow someone else to take the reins.

He never told me how to live my life or what I could or could not do, There were just certain rules of submission that turned me on, so I didn't mind. I think the extent of the submission expected is an issue also. I never felt threatened by the submission.

Remember in being submissive I was giving him the power, Without me to give him that power, he didn't have any, so to a certain extent I had control too.

Because it's a theat to their own identity.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
